For example,<br>presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the<br>underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration.<br><br>Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general,<br>the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows:<br><br>- Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes<br> discussion<br>- Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning)<br>- Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday<br> morning)<br>- BoFs: approximately one hour<br>- Lightning talks: 10 minutes total for both presentation and any<br> discussion<br><br>The following general requirements apply:<br><br>- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system,<br> https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/<br>- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission<br> system (https://ripe75.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can<br> be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The<br> allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in<br> some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot<br> allocated.<br>- Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include<br> speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a<br> neutral facilitator.<br>- All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they<br> contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated<br> later on).
